Sivak's New York experience continues with 'Ephemera' show
Photos and story by James Hill
Marie Sivak’s sculpture artwork will be front and center at New York’s A.I.R. Gallery in April. Sivak is showcasing her exhibit, “Ephemera: Recent Work in Video and Stone,” from April 1-26. The show features a combination of stone objects with projected and embedded video.
Delicate carvings of familiar items such as a feather, an envelope, or a paper bag are meticulously crafted in alabaster and limestone. In tandem, the films and the sculpture simulate the experience of remembering. Lois Allan of Artweek wrote recently that, “Sivak, like Marcel Proust, is interested in the fleeting sensory triggers that bring a buried memory to consciousness.”
Marie Sivak received her master’s degree in sculpture and extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has exhibited her work throughout the U.S. and abroad, including exhibitions at Nancy Margolis Gallery in New York City, The Drawing Gallery in London and the Kunstihoone in Tallinn, Estonia.
